Dude, Where’s My RBA?

To address the elephant in the room, the Subtank Nano’s lack of an RBA function, we feel that it’s only right for you to know that it was a practical thing.

Decreasing the size of the Kanger Subtank platform meant some tricky engineering challenges.

In real-world terms, adding RBA support would have taken the capacity of the Subtank Nano down to a paltry 2mL, which is just not enough juice to keep a dedicated vape enthusiast happy for very long.

Build Quality

In keeping with Kanger’s reputation, build quality on the Kanger Subtank Nano is good. The combination of Steel and Pyrex form a durable construction, and the airflow control ring feels solid and well-built with an audible “click” as it sets into place at one of its four default settings.

There are a few complaints of minor leakage throughout the Kanger Subtank Nano reviews that you’ll read. This is a common issue with clearomizers when the tank is less than 1/3rd full, as you’ll read in the instructions manual.

The new, sleeker design of the Kanger Subtank Nano is its’ most visible departure from the line, showing an 18.5mm form factor. It not only looks great with box and mech mods, but a significant number of pen-type vapes as well.

The fact that Kanger managed to retain a respectable 3 mL capacity is also worthy of mention, even if it comes at the expense of the RBA option present in other models of Subtank.

Adjustable Airflow

The latest entry to the Kanger Subtank line brings a little something different to the table in that it’s only intended as a clearomizer, but in that function it certainly outperforms the majority of other tanks.

The adjustable airflow allows the user to select the tightness of their draw, which is already a premium feature in a tank of this type.

Organic Cotton Coils

Throw in the organic cotton coil heads to serve as the perfect blank canvas to make unique flavor combinations shine to the fullest, and you have what just might be the industry’s top tank.

All told, the Kanger Subtank Nano clearomizer is essentially a way of getting the manufacturer’s incredible organic cotton coils out to a wider audience.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing for those who simply want some convenient flavor in a lower-maintenance profile.

Minor Drawbacks and Flaws

As for less positive aspects of the Kanger Subtank Nano, there’s just no getting around that particular adjustment. For some vapers, having the option to rebuild custom coils is a core reason for purchasing a high-end tank.

The Subtank Nano is admittedly a total deal breaker for someone who wanted all the functionality of the original Kanger Subtank in a design less than three feet wide.

The coils are also not interchangeable with those of any other clearomizer. Although the do deliver unrivaled flavor, the unique heads are also more expensive than standard atomizer parts.

Another limitation of the unit is that it must be used with a mod capable of generating at least 12-15 watts, so that low-powered smoke shop special might not cut it here.

Compatible Mods

This tank’s slimmed down profile and 510 threading makes it a good fit with a wide range of mods, but there are a couple that stand out in any setup and make natural choices for one of the finest tanks on the market:

The VaporFi Vox 50 mod will be more than enough to pump out the max power for the Subtank Nano. With 50 watts in the palm of your hand, it does good at showing off.
